Old Ranch, Fresh Boots
My old ranch was looking pretty dusty and worn-down as I rode back towards it. Damn, had it really been that long? The fence was nothing but a few rows of lonely sticks, the sign on my gate had fallen into the dust, and my ranch house looked like it was halfway to falling over.
I climbed down off my horse, my boots raising clouds of dust as I landed on the ground, then started to tie him up against a post. One more thing to handle with him before I stabled him up though. I stroked his heavy head and looked him in the eye.
"So, said I'd turn you back if you asked me to. How about it?", I said in my gravelly accent. The horse looked back at me dumbly, nothing but animal instinct in his big black stallion head. I knew his mind would have crumbled by now, but when the guy tried to rob me a few months ago, I did promise I'd turn him back from a horse once I reached home, if he asked.
I left him there for now, and climbed up the porch into my house. The door was hanging open and the inside hall was covered in sandy dust. I reached down and pulled my left boot off slowly, feeling the worn and muddy leather slowly slide free. As my hairy, rough foot pulled out, the boot crumpled slightly, the leather gone soft from years of hard use.
I pulled the other one off too and sighed with relief. I lifted the pair up and grinned at it, ignoring my own musky smell oozing from the leather.
"You were good boots, boy. Hope it was everything you wanted", I said. I felt no reply or consciousness from them, not that I was expecting to. Guys that I turned into my boots didn't keep thinking like humans for very long. The warmth and weight of my feet, the taste of my sweat, the smell of my masculine musk, all combined into a brain-crushing effect. I could sense their thoughts while wearing them, and most of them descended into nothing but horny and needy begging after a week or two. After a few months, generally nothing but moans and shuddering.
This guy had been my boots for two years, and had long since stopped having any human thoughts. He only felt pleasure and contentment, his mind fully converted into that of the spirit of an object.
I pushed open the door to my cellar, and where I store my collection of former humans. Down there I had whole shelves of old boots, men who's spirits had fully succumbed to becoming objects and could never turn back.
I had been planning to just give this pair a space on the shelf, but I was surprised to find my cellar was already occupied. Sitting in the middle of the floor was a naked man, one of my boots pressed to his face as he inhaled the scent, and his other hand wrapped around his cock as he pleasured himself to it.
He pulled the boot down in shock as he heard me walk down the stairs, and a blush covered his face as he grunted and sprayed all over himself with his own seed. I raised a bushy eyebrow and watched as he scrambled to grab his pants.
He was red-haired, a little muscle to him, maybe some farmhand. He was young, maybe in his early twenties. Well, all guys are young to me, that's how it gets when you're over a hundred years old, but visually I still looked like a gruff, bearded old cowboy in his late forties.
"Gonna tell me what you think you're doing in my house, boy?", I growled. He covered his junk with his hands, then seemed to realise something.
"Wait...you're him! You're Cooper!", he said in awe. I wasn't sure how I felt about my reputation preceding me.
"I heard you're a wizard, that you got branded by the devil's cattle iron and it gave you powers! M-my name's John, I, uh...I'm sorry, I've been sneaking in here, and I just...", he stammered. I sighed and kept walking until I was towering over him, while he still kneeled naked on the floorboards.
"I want to be your boots!", he finally blurted out. I noticed his eyes were locked staring at my bare feet, his face flushed and hot with desire. I ignored him for now, and carried both my newest pair and the ones he had been huffing, to place them both on the shelf. Then I crossed my arms and looked down at him
"You know what you're asking for here, boy? You really understand what that would mean?", I say. He gulps, his dick already getting hard again just from staring at my feet. Damn, this boy was obsessed.
I lifted one of my feet and showed him my wide, rough sole. It was dirty and blackened from my long trip. Not a lot of bathing gets done out in the wilds. I expected him to flinch or recoil from the musk, but he actually leaned closer.
"It's no picnic, no fun little trip. It's one way. Everything you are just becoming leather, becoming an object. Wrapped around my feet, no way to say no, no backing out. Forced to taste and smell my dirt and sweat even if you get sick of it. Before long your mind would start to melt away, become part of the boots. Each step my weight would crush down on you, wipe you away more. Eventually you wouldn't even think at all, not how a human does. It'd be just experience, sensation, the mind of an inanimate object with no desires. That really what you want of your life?"
He looked up at me with no hesitation, and nodded.
Well, I'm not one to pass up new boots, or to give a second warning. I shoved my foot forward, pressed my rough toes into his mouth, and he gagged on them as his body started to shift. His flesh becoming more malleable, his bones softening as my power filled him. My foot slid right over his tongue and down his throat, as his head started to reshape and conform to fit me.
His eyes watered, but to my surprise he actually pushed himself forward and helped push my foot deeper. Damn, this boy really wanted it. I wondered if he had been influenced by the desires and needs of the countless boots down here, or if this was just how he was.
His skin started to toughen and become darker. It creaked as it grew thick and leathery, the tanning of fine leather spreading down his body, while his insides started to hollow out. He reached down to his shaft and started trying to stroke himself, but I growled a warning.
"No, boy. Your pleasure isn't important any more. You are my property, and what you want isn't relevant."
He immediately pulled his hands away and tried to nod. Damn, I wish all my victims were this obedient. As his body flexed and shifted, the shape of it becoming less and less human, I reached down and pulled his lower body over.
I pushed my other bare foot towards his tight ass, even as I watched it turning brown and firm. He gurgled and shuddered as my toes slid into him, my feet filling both his behind and his throat. Then, when I was ankle-deep, I started to pull.
He moaned and started to sweat. I knew he was feeling his whole body strain and shift in a way no human would ever feel. With a slow sensation, like pulling taffy, his entire body split in two.
He would still feel both parts, feel and taste and smell my unwashed feet in every part of him. Already his limbs were shrinking away into the brown leather, his facial features disappearing as stitching appeared along his sides. I watched as the last of him melted away, until I was wearing just a seemingly ordinary, heavy pair of brown leather boots.
I stood up, and felt him moan with lust as my weight pressed down on him. 'Thank you', I heard in his mind. I didn't reply. I'd already forgotten his name, and he was just property now.
He tasted my sweat and felt every touch of my bare feet with every step, as I climbed back up the stairs to sort out the horse and get the house in shape. There was lots to be done, and lots of folks who needed to accept their place in my ranch.
